Ignition Coils Failure Problems of Lincoln LS

My 2004 Lincoln Ls goes into "etc engine failsafe mode" which doesn't allow the car to accelerate anymore and causes the car to slowly slow down. This happens all the time on my car. Probably once every three miles I drive on average but it happens most when the car is accelerating. I have almost been in numerous accidents because of this problem. I have replaced ignition coils and the throttle body and nothing seems to help. I am scared this car is going to get me killed the next time I merge onto the freeway. I now don't drive the car because it is just simply not safe for me or the other drivers on the road.

Vehicle runs very rough. Will not accelerate over 2800 rpm and shakes badly. Check engine light is flashing. Checked codes p0304 and p0306. Chop states it is faulty ignition coils.

Ford Lincoln Mercury~manufacture warranty extended on ignition coil - but each time ignition coil goes out it causes numerous "other repairs" costing $900+ each time. ~ vehicles begins to run rough, the temperature gauge goes to top, the car looses power (while in traffic even though foot on accelerator) will not accelerate~ 5 times in less than 11 months~ these "other repairs done each time ignition coil is replaced should be covered under extended manufacture warranty.

My 2002 Lincoln Ls v8 has broken down in numerous ways. All ignition coils have had to be replaced, two window motors, airbag connector clip, my tie rod ends are bad, my car has actually shut off completely while driving up the 15 north three times while my son was in the car with me and now my transmission has completely stopped working. When it came to fixing the airbag connector problem Lincoln told me it was fixed and I went to pick up my car and it was still doing the same thing the three beeps so they fixed it for free and then told me my instrument panel on one side was burned out but the lights seems to work on it when I turn them on. They wanted to charge me 800 dollars for that but I refused. The ignition coil replacement was roughly 1000 dollars and I am waiting on my estimate for my transmission. Both window motors were 200 dollars a piece. I have had numerous taillights replaced and actually had a door lock jam closed on me. I truly feel that this car is a safety hazard for me and my son if it turns completely off at 65 miles an hour on a freeway with my son in the car.

The engine failures began on July 28, 2005 and have continued through this date. This engine should have been recalled. The types of problems cause the engine to create erroneous mechanical readouts preventing the vehicle from passing state's emission inspections. The engine shuts down due to faulty plastic tensioners causing the timing chains to become loose, thus causing engine failures. I'm lucky I was not going any faster when my engine failed twice causing me to lose my steering capabilities, etc. Most mechanics are replacing ignition coils because they are getting misfire readings on specific cylinders, however the problem lies with the timing chains that go out eventually. Currently, I have four diagnostic readings on my engine stating that number 4 cylinder is misfiring, when indeed two mechanics are stating that the timing chain is the problem and another expert familiar with this problem sells the specific kits to try to correct this known problem of Ford's. .

On three different occasions since February, an ignition coil has failed in my Ls(# 2,3,and 6). Each time the repair has cost almost $300, and in addition since the dealer thought a small leak in the valve cover gasket may have caused the problem with #3, that was replaced for an additional $225. In the 45 years I have been driving, I have never had a coil go bad. There is clearly a defect in the original coils or engine design. The dealer has indicated that they have replaced many of these on Ls's.
